My thesis chair actually went to U of Florida. I've planned to pick his brain about the program itself when the Fall semester starts back up. I'm very interested in finding a program that not only fits my research, but also will lead into semi-decent job placement. I've been slowly traveling towards freaking out over where I'll eventually end up. That's assuming I even make it into a doctoral program at all (the acceptance rates on this site scare me), ha. So, funny thing. I'll actually be presenting at SFRA's conference in June. I definitely plan to spend time checking out the UCR program and chatting with presenters from non-UCR programs about how grad school is going for them. Ah, I've actually been wondering about how successful I would be with finding programs if I choose 20th Century Lit as a field of study. I'm glad that others have had the same thought. I'll have to reach out to some of the schools I'm interested in and ask. Thanks for the suggestion! And thanks to everyone for the help!

Hello! I am a current graduate student (my MA will be completed by Spring 2018) and I'm looking to apply for doctoral programs later this year. As it stands, much of my graduate course work and my thesis are dealing with contemporary science fiction literature in various forms. By the application season I will have made multiple conference appearances for my work in the field. All that is left is finding the right school that will allow me to continue my work. Do any of you have any suggestions on where I should look into applying? Thank you so much for any help/advice!
